Arne Slot opens up on Liverpool future amid sack speculation

Arne Slot is confident of staying

Richard Hughes and CEO of Football Michael Edwards are planning to sit down and audit the entire campaign in the off-season and that will go a long way to defining a way forward for the club.

And despite fans’ wishes to the contrary it now looks settled that Slot will be staying.

A new report in TEAMtalk claims the former Feyenoord boss is confident about his prospects of staying in charge. And the head coach is even plotting improvements to the squad which will see Liverpool back in contention for the title next season.

“Arne Slot is working under the firm belief that he will remain Liverpool manager this summer,” the report reads.

“He is already planning ahead with summer transfers and with a growing expectation that the side will push for top honours again next season.”

Arne Slot is planning a title charge

Liverpool have endured some poor spells this season but a recent collapse in Chelsea’s form has all but sealed a Champions League spot for the Reds.

The prospect of Xabi Alonso replacing Slot was lurking in the background for a while but it’s now emerging that FSG never had any plans to dispense with their title-winning boss.

“Liverpool have consistently maintained that no decision had ever been made to remove Slot from his position, despite strong links with former Reds icon Xabi Alonso,” the report reads.
